Diabetes

A Podiatrist's role in diabetic foot care ranges from regular prevention and education to identifying and treating problems before they get out of hand.

Ingrown Toenails and Fungus

Ingrown toe nails are a painful condition in which the nail grows so that it cuts into one or both sides of the nail bed.
Fungal nail infection is when the nail becomes thick and discolored. The nail can become brittle or fall off completely.
